Pretty Boy

Bedrooms

"Krista!" Ymir pushed the small girl away. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" Krista was confused from the combination of Ymir's reaction and whatever drug Oluo had given her.

"Wh-why did you do that?" Ymir stuttered, worrying that it was only happening because Krista had some strange concoction of illegal substances in her system.

"Because I wanted to!" Krista smiled widely.

"I'll tell you what. If you still want to when all of this is out of your system, then we will talk. Deal?" Ymir didn't want it to seem like she was trying to take advantage of the small sweet girl.

"Deal."

While Ymir laid there holding the unconscious Krista, Eren was having what he thought was the worst experience of his life.

Eren sat quietly on the couch in between Levi and some kid Berdholt. Berdholt was wrapped up in a deep conversation about football with Reiner. Levi simply sat and observed all the people at his house. Eren felt extremely awkward so he attempted to make conversation by asking, "So how are you even allowed to throw a party this crazy?" Eren cringed when he realized how juvenile he sounded.

"My parents are out of town on business. They're sales reps for a big electronics company so they have no clue. Even if they did they probably wouldn't care much."

Eren couldn't tell if Levi was being cynical or if his parents really did not care about him.

"I don't even know half of the people here." Levi chuckled. He looked over at Eren for the first time. "Kid what's your problem? You look scared shitless."

"I-I-I just don't know why you're talking to me." Levi was right. Eren was scared shitless.

"Cause you're alright. For a brat at least." Again Eren couldn't tell if Levi was being playful or insulting. Eren just stared. "A joke Yeager. A joke is-"

"I know what a joke is dumbass." Eren immediately panicked. Was Levi going to beat him up now? Far from it actually. He laughed.

"Wow there's the fire. I knew you weren't all pretty flowers and yaoi."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Eren got defensive.

"It's a joke kid chill. By the way I'm gonna be needing the next few books." Levi was talking about this in public and Eren was getting red with embarrassment. "Hey wait a sec. Come with me." Levi stood up. Eren just stared upward at him for a few moments. "Come on kid."

Eren stood and up and followed Levi.

"Where is he taking me?" Eren wondered. When they opened a door all Eren could think was, "Oh lovely. A bedroom."
